  Carmen Saeculare by Horace
The Carmen Saeculare is a choral hymn in the sapphic metre written by Horace in 17 B.C. at the command of the emperor Augustus, to be performed at the ludi saeculares ('secular games') by a choir of twenty-seven boys and twenty-seven girls.
The ode is in the form of a prayer addressed to Apollo and Diana, and the achievements of Augustus are commemorated.
They were originally introduced at an unknown but early time as games and sacrifices performed in order to end some national danger or distress from plague or for some other cause (the stories vary widely), and were supposedly held at intervals of a hundred years (saeculum).

He seeks to make the case that the Carmen Saeculare is an unjustly neglected masterpiece of Latin poetry that has too often been dismissed as mere propaganda or damned with faint praise.
Chapter 1 surveys the historical background of the Carmen, notes the lack of recent attempts to vindicate it as a work of art, and makes a first attempt at defending it from the charge of being a piece of political hackwork.
Modern readers of the Carmen have tended to dismiss it because we know that it was commissioned by Augustus to celebrate the Ludi Saeculares and hence to glorify the principate.

"In this lucid, appreciative study, Putnam revindicates the Carmen Saeculare as a ’neglected masterpiece’ of Augustan literature.
Sensitive as ever to poetic detail, nuance, and connection, he reads the Carmen Saeculare with cumulative attention to Horace’s earlier visions of divine protection; to Greek and Roman antecedents from Pindar and Sappho to Catullus, Virgil, and Tibullus; and finally, to the tradition of Roman religious carmina or magical songs.
The analysis of the hymn is full, rich, and detailed, and will be the standard for the interpretation of the Carmen Saeculare for years to come.

Horace, although initially a critic of Caesar and Augustus, eventually became "an enthusiastic messenger of the new age" (Koester, Intro 1.340) initiated by Augustus.
The Carmen Saecular (The Secular Hymn) was written at Augustus' request and performed at the Secular Games in 17 BCE.
Virgil was born of fairly well-to-do country people and received a good education in rhetoric and philosophy.
